Out of the millions that were made someone has to get the lemon you may never find out why this happened. Could have been the last pore from the pot. Could have been the bolt was dropped in such a way that it was weakened. Might even have been a double load.
At lest you still have all your digits and toes....you may not have wanted new undies for Christmas and I don’t want to ruin the surprise, but...

In saying all of the above if you do find why I am interested.
Load wise do you have any more of the same? Maybe pull those and weight them.
Not sure how you could go about having the bolt tested.
Most of us have the wall of shame for reloads gone astray....that’s sure a good one to put up there. with them if you don’t then wow what a way to start

yeah done all that mate, the remaining string was 61.2grs 2213sc, i use a rcbs electronic powder measure and double check on beam scales, there's not enough room in case for double charge and i keep a fairly good reload dairy and have good checks in place.
